Dear reader, here are the important parts of the article:
It’s a big deal, because the Oregon law would be the first to ban “parts pairing,” a practice where companies can keep you from using components[.]
Similar to California’s right-to-repair law, the Oregon bill also requires companies to make the same parts, tools, and repair documents available to any owners that it offers to authorized repair shops, and without charging any more for them.
Finally, Apple is against the bill, so it's probably a good bill for right-to-repair.
ahh looks like it's the hardware equivalent of software unbundling
seems good in that case✨️
Apple by this time next year: We need to epoxy the entire airspace inside the new iphone because.. waterproofing? Sure waterproofing I promise that's why we did that.
That's assuming apple is feeling generous enough to be that level of kind kind to their consumers.
